| Obverse description | At the centre of the obverse, a vibrantly coloured patterned mitten is depicted in three-colour print, with the lower body of a bear and a wolf protruding from its opening, evoking the Latvian folk tale. To the left of the mitten, a fly and a hare are rendered in the same coloured style, while a mouse appears to the right. The semi-circular legend VECĪŠA CIMDIŅŠ (The Old Man's Mitten) arcs to the right of the central motif, inscribed in the field in Latin script. The overall design employs a whimsical, illustrative artistic style consistent with the fairy tale theme of the series. |
